Customize MeTube to auto-download/remux subtitles and more

[FunkyBuddha]

In this example, we will:

• Create a docker service that can be integrated to Gluetun (VPN Client)
• Define custom directories for config and temp (ramdisk)
• Allow MeTube to index (completed, failed, etc.) downloaded files
• Add parameters to YT-DL to:
  • Download and automatically remux subtitles to mp4
  • Update the file date based on download date
  • Change file permissions

Docker Compose:
